I had Emilia alone.

A nurse held my hand in the delivery room, urging my breaths and stroking my hair back from my damp forehead as I pushed.

I didn’t tell anyone I was in labor. Just called the driver I hired after I got too big to walk everywhere or comfortably ride the L. Marco, a quiet man in his late fifties, traversed the roads that night with care and had the polite decency not to ask the whereabouts of the baby’s father. While I’d never made any attempt to converse with him during our few short trips before Emilia was born, he nevertheless sensed I was on my own in this. He helped me into the hospital and waited right by my side, holding my hand through a rough contraction and murmuring something – I assume a prayer – under his breath in Italian.

When the nurse came to whisk me away to my room, he assisted me into the wheelchair and said the kindest words anyone had spoken to me in months: “God bless, bella.”

I remember feeling almost frantic as we approached the big swinging doors leading from the waiting room to the maternity ward, an overwhelming urge to jump out of the chair and sprint back to the safety of the car, forgoing this whole baby thing altogether. Because what the hell was I thinking? I couldn’t do this, there was no way I could do this…

I twisted around in my seat, throwing a desperate look back at Marco – a man who, at the time, was the only man around who could possibly save me. I was only able to catch a brief glimpse, and the last I saw of him he was twisting his driver’s cap around in his hands, eyes big and round and sad. He lifted his hand in a wave as the doors swung shut behind me.

I never told him thank you.
